On March 31st, the San Jose Sharks are hosting their Green Game this Wednesday, April 8th at 7 p.m. against the Edmonton Oilers at SAP Center. It's all about Earth Month, spotlighting sustainability, innovation, and community vibes right in the heart of San Jose. Earlier this year, the team teamed up with the city to launch Fins of Arena Green, a volunteer crew keeping the park next to the arena fresh and beautiful. Mayor Matt Mahan even jumped in to help. Plus, the Sharks Foundation dropped a $20,000 grant to Walden West for a Miyawaki forest at their outdoor school.

Inside SAP Center, they're cutting single-use plastics, pushing vegan eats, paper straws, water stations, and top-tier recycling.
